Ever since I was a child I picked my nails constantly. It was probably a nervous habit, but regardless my nails have always been short. They never went past the skin at the end of my fingers, and I also never painted my nails. They were not very pretty for most of my life. I got them done occasionally and got acrylic nails which I always ended up taking off myself, and leaving my nails looking even worse than before I got them done.
In the last couple of years I have tried to grow them out on my own, I tried to take Biotin, I tried lots of things to help my nails look prettier. I finally just started painting my nails about every other week. Once they were painted I was less likely to pick at them. I had tried this before, so who knows why it's only started to work after 22 years of picking. Finally my nails look less horrible than they have in the past.
I started by purchasing some cheap nail polish in colors that made me excited to paint them (I found out that a more expensive top coat with cheaper nail polish is better than the alternative). I have kept it up for the most part. Of course sometimes I have had days that I was too busy or just didn't feel like painting them so I opted to keep my chipped polish on, but overall I have been able to keep fresh polish on to prevent picking. Hopefully I can keep it up so my nails can keep getting stronger and healthier.
My favorite cheap brand is Sinful Colors the I found at Walmart and Target! They have awesome colors, they are easy to paint with, and they last (with a good topcoat). What is your favorite nail polish brand?
